How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Kumho Sense KR26 is recognized as an affordable, budget-friendly option that delivers quiet comfort and decent performance when brand new. However, numerous users report a significant drop-off in tread longevity and wet-weather traction as the tires age, making them a mixed proposition for long-term use.
Pros
- Affordable price point appealing to budget-conscious drivers
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Smooth and pleasant driving dynamics when new
Cons
- Rapid degradation of wet-weather traction after 15,000 to 25,000 miles
- Uneven tread wear and balancing issues at higher mileage
- Poor dry and wet grip reported by some users as the tires age
Worth knowing
- Frequently chosen as an economical option for resale vehicles or high-mileage commuting where keeping costs under $60 per tire is a priority.
- One user specifically noted poor performance on a 2012 Mazda3, which completely resolved after switching to an alternative brand.
